Coastal OC Election Guide for November 2018

ByVoice of OC Staff |November 2, 2018

Tuesday is Election Day for the 2018 midterms, and the following is a rundown of news stories for South Orange County residents about races for the 48th and 49th Congressional Districts, district attorney and sheriff.

Turnout is expected to be higher than usual for this type of election, after the June primary saw 78 percent higher voter participation countywide than the prior midterm primary in 2014. A handful of votes can end up deciding local elections when the results are close.

Polls are open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and voters can also drop off their mail-in ballot at their polling place or mail it in to the county Registrar of Voters.
